Foster Care

Foster care volunteers (also called foster parents) provide temporary care for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs in their homes. By offering your time, energy, and home to an animal in need, you prepare the animal for adoption into a permanent, loving home. We are always looking for foster homes, especially throughout the busy spring and summer seasons. The more foster parents we have, the more lives we can save. The average time to foster depends on the needs of the animal and is based on factors like age, health, and behavioral issues. Some may only require two weeks in foster care while some may require up to a month or more. To be considered for fostering, please turn in a Foster Application to the Shelter.
